- describe the basic process of setting up a cluster
High Availability (HA) Clusters
- describe the fundamentals of high availability in a virtualized environment
- describe the new proactive high availability method in vCenter 6.5
- create a high availability cluster in a VMware virtualized environment
- describe host monitoring in a VMware virtualized environment
- recognize how admission control policies help manage hardware resources
- set the high availability VM monitoring settings
- describe cluster monitoring tools available in vCenter Server
Fault Tolerant VMs
- describe characteristics of virtual machine fault tolerance and its requirements
- configure virtual machine fault tolerance
- use VMware to verify a fault tolerance implementation
vCenter Server High Availability (VCHA)
- identify the purpose and architecture of vCenter Server High Availability
- determine if an environment can support vCenter Server High Availability
